n-Alkyl arenes were prepared in a one-pot tandem dehydrogenation/olefin metathesis/hydrogenation sequence directly from alkanes and ethylbenzene. Excellent selectivity was observed when (tBuPCP)IrH2 was paired with tungsten monoaryloxide pyrrolide complexes such as W(NAr)(C 3H6)(pyr)(OHIPT) (1a) [Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C 6H3; pyr = pyrrolide; OHIPT = 2,6-(2,4,6-i-Pr 3C6H2)2C6H3O]. Complex 1a was also especially active in n-octane self-metathesis, providing the highest product concentrations reported to date. The thermal stability of selected olefin metathesis catalysts allowed elevated temperatures and extended reaction times to be employed.

Eight stable products in the neat photolysis at 147 nm of ethyltrimethylsilane (ETMS) along with three additional stable products found in the presence of additives are rationalized in terms of five primary molecular products, eight atomic or free radical intermediates, and (CH3)2SiCH2.In decreasing order of importance these are CH3 , C2H4 , (CH3)2SiCH2 , C2H5 , H2 , (CH3)3Si , H*, CH4 , C2H6 , (CH3)3SiCH2 , (CH3)2SiC2H5 , (CH3)3SiC2H4* , (CH3)2SiH , and (CH3)3SiH .In contrast to the photochemistry of tetramethylsilane, many competing primary processes occur and there is little indication of a dominant reaction.This multiplicity of products creates a system too complex for unambiguous elucidation but illustrates many reactions found commonly in photochemical studies of hydrocarbons.It appears that the structure of the molecule and the availability of secondary hydrogens are more important to the overall reaction mechanism than is the presence of silicon.
